Three Forks Bakery & Brewing Co. Reviews

Home of the Gold medal DIPA which is absolutely fantastic!

I usually go there for espresso. It has a hippy, relaxed but kind of fancy atmosphere, some small plates and fancy deserts.
If you are in town it's worth going, even if just for people watching

Hard enough to have both brioche and beer in the same place, harder even to do both well. Three Forks ends up being surprisingly good at everything it does even when it feels weird to be ordering nest eggs at the same time as a beer flight. Definitely on the short list of things you must do while in Nevada City.

Great local spot to grab some pizza or salad & beer or wine

Foods good for sure, their pastries and desserts are better! The staff are rude, and some of them need a shower!

Everything I've ever eaten here has been quality, and absolutely delicious!

Locals' favorite. Local, organic food, microbrews. Totally scrumptious. Great people watching. Can get busy, though.

The roasted peppers with garlic were phenomenal, pizza was amazing, and the blueberry basil agua fresca was delicious. Lovely little spot in the mountains.

The beer is awesome and super affordable, but the pizza is absolute trash. It sounded amazing, but turned out to be a really bad pepperoni pizza that somehow managed to be sour. So do go for the beer, but Do Not eat the pizza.

Pros: Good pizza and beer.
Cons: busy.

Food is always great. This go around we had a beer braised beef sandwich and a sausage pizza with a late and a couple of pints(lager and Baltic Porter) The beer is nothing less than delicious. I always try to make a stop in when we come to town.

Delicious farm to table food. It's not your average menu so don't expect a classic burger & fries but even if the menu is too exciting for your taste you can get a delicious slice of fresh baked sourdough with butter. Simple but amazing. We love this place.

Absolutely stellar service. Wonderful prices and large and interesting menu. Such a treasure should not be missed.

Warm, casual setting with excellent food and beer. Family oriented and very friendly staff. Excellent spot to refuel and relax.

Good service, good food, and good beer. Locally sourced and fresh with an ever changing menu around a core concept, it's hard not to only eat here when in Nevada City. I don't normally eat the crust of pizza, but I do. Get the pizza or anything else, you won't be disappointed.

Delicious food and beer (stout is my favorite), friendly staff. They're gonna have to expand though, it was very busy.

If you bought drip coffee, you'd think they might put some COFFEE in it?

Delicious, local, i do wish it was cheaper, id go more often

I love 3 Forks. The brioche and gruyere are my faves. I love Megan Matt and the Sarah's...Glenjemin the baker sure knows his stuff.. Thank 3 Forks for yummies.....

Best Brewery ever! Locally sourced food and great craft beer! Seating is rough at times but totally worth the wait.

nice staff and beer selection. The deserts are really good too. I wouldn't bother with the gluten free pizza crust. it's expensive, small, and really weird.

Great beer, awesome bread, fresh food, okay service. Too pricey in my opinion for a small northern California town.

This place has everything you'd ever want. All breweries should be bakeries like this!

Great food, good beer and a friendly staff. Also everyone seemed to be following COVID requirements.

Fantastic beers at decent prices. It may have been my timing but most of the beers on tap were ipas leaving not much to choose from. The blonde lager was so good though!

Ex excellent pizza, strawberry shortcake, house salad, BLT.

This place is in the heart of Nevada City. The people watching is excellent here.

Fantastic fresh food. Pancetta trombetta squash white pizza!

I was recently in Nevada City for a retreat and I made a point of coming to Three Forks Bakery almost every day. I love fruit pie, and theirs is amazing. They sell it by the slice, thank goodness, because I can't be trusted with an entire pie. I like their Ginger cookies, too. My only disappointment was on Sunday, my last day in the area. I arrived, braving the long lines, eager for berry or apple pie, and pretty much all they had were handmade croissants. People were very enthusiastic about their croissants, and they are well known for their Sunday croissants, but it's just not my thing. The only pie they had was chocolate cream pie. No fruit pie. They didn't even have Ginger cookies, though they did have chocolate chip. Sadly, I left empty handed.

Great food, awesome staff, love the environment and the business. Foods very fresh and drinks are refreshing and homemade!

Fantastic food, beer and deserts. Either for a quick bite /coffee or a tasty pizza this is the best place in town. Always fresh and always delicious.

Staff was rude, actually only one of them, Pizza was soggy and salty and was $17 for 6 pieces of pepperoni.

The beer flight and choices were very good, including the Two Rivers Cider; however, the food was disappointing and over-priced for what we received. Where was the lettuce with the beet salad? I've had wonderful beet salads this fall elsewhere, with LETTUCE. When I tried to make this suggestion, afterward, that people might enjoy that, the girl was ignoring me, and rude. Get off your high-horse, people! Also, the burger pic looked delish, but unfortunately it wasn't on the menu! The bacon-cheddar sandwich was disappointing-small, two pieces of wheat bread, some bacon, and I didn't taste any cheese. You would have starved. For $13, very disappointing. I've had a better time and food there in the past. The baked items and desserts looked delish, however.

(Vegan Review)

Great quality food made with good intentions... But, completely unconcerned with providing the same quality and nutrition to vegans.

They say they can make many items vegan, but what that means is that they can remove 1/2 the ingredients and replace then with nothing leaving you with 1/2 the meal, 1/2 the nutrition, for 100% of the price. They offer no vegan protein sources and no cheese alternatives.

They claim it's because they don't believe in soy or processed foods, yet they could make in-house local nut cheeses, bean-based burgers, and any of the other thousands of whole foods clean vegan options that are only one Google search away.

They are either uninformed or simply don't actually want to serve vegans.

If you are vegan, you will be disappointed.

Just keep walking around town and you will good several other restaurants with the same awesome commitment to quality AND plenty of vegan options. You and your meat eating friends will be happy!

Enjoyed the food and beer. Disappointed by the wait staff demanding one of our group not to stand outside of the patio rather than politely asking. It was very rude for our first visit to the brewery from out of town.

After eating their sourdough crust brick oven pizza, no other pizza cuts it for me. Awesome breads, baked in the brick oven with the residual heat from the pizza cooking the night before. The beers turned me into a wannabe connoisseur, and made me like stouts and porters for the first time. They have a higher commitment to local, sustainable sourcing than any restaurant I've ever heard of. Most places say "we use organic ingredients whenever possible," or something along those lines but if you ask them to get specific it turns out whenever possible means about 20-30% of the time. I've heard it's in the high high nineties at Three Forks. Even though the BLT is their most popular sandwich, they don't serve it in the winter because there aren't any local tomatoes. The opening of this place transformed my whole relationship with the town because now I always know there will be extraordinarily clean food at a reasonable price any time of day and great loitering. And, yes, I'm a little biased because I always see my friends there. Stop googling and go already!

Great Place for Pizza & Beer, salads, soup,sandwich & lor more

Great place to stop and have a drink after the farmers market

Interesting place . Kind of a combination coffee house & brew pub, with an upscale bistro-type menu. I only grabbed coffee & pastry on the run, but wished I could have stayed longer.

Great customer service. Great food. Great beer choices, and wine, and cider, etc.

I thought my food was delish, I had a hot cocoa, ham and gruyer croissant and a lemon square, we came for the Victorian Christmas, it was a nice time.

Exquisite everything I tried ..... 1000% recommended

Loved their Almond croissant. And patio was good too.

Came for a growler fill and a late lunch (1:45) sandwich. Both the beer (Humbug Harvest) and Sandwich (Bacon Cheddar Melt) were outstanding. Three Forks rarely disappoints, and today was no exception.

Good coffee. Good apple pie. Good service. Crowded at lunch time.

Great for pizza and beer. The IPA is our favourite.

Awesome place for a coffee break and do things on the computer.

Liked their pesto pizza. Very friendly personnel. Would eat there again.

The salami pizza was amazing. Beer n pizza. Can't go wrong. Very friendly service. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

I got the BLT on focaccia and my boyfriend got the meatball sub, they both came with a side salad w/ balsamic vinaigrette and both meals were absolutely amazing. For the beer we got a mother's beach blonde and a Virginia Vienna lager and both were DELICIOUS. We kept talking about it on the way home. Outstanding greeting when we arrived, service while we were there and people who work there. Great food, great beer, great vibe. Will definitely visit again and would reccomend to anyone!!

Best combination of food and Atmosphere in Northern California outside of the Bay Area.

Totally worth it! Great beers, food and bakery products.

Absolute favorite spot for food in Nevada City. Delicious pastries, sandwiches, salads, wood fire pizza, beer, cider and kombucha on tap, friendly staff, and they support the local farms.

Friendly helpful service from all. Delicious beer and food.

Delicious baked goods. Not a great place for breakfast.

Very good beer! Food too... Service is hard for new customers to figure out though.

Cure place, awesome staff, COLORFUL clientele, but nothing spectacular. Still, heart of town.

They have reopened and have added seating in parking lot. Beer is as good as ever!

Great beer, unique but delicious pizza, and a friendly, attractive staff make this place a must for anyone passing through Nevada City.

Good beers and amazing pizza, bread and bakery products! A great spot to meet friends in Nevada City.

Great place to have beers, burgers, tacos, etc. They allow dogs as well.

The Beef Meatball Calzone was watery, doughy, and tepid.

Everything is phenomenal off the menu I suggest either the meatball sub or the made to order pizzas they are all great

Brew and atmosphere all just perfect. Food is delicious and the staff is wonderful.

Food is great, atmosphere is great, service is great.

Great place for coffee and pastries in the morning and pizza and beer in the afternoon.
